While the move sparked much debate among fans, newly-hired Virginia Tech coach James Franklin compared his coaching transition to Kiffin's during an appearance on CBS Sports on Wednesday.Franklin said he was envious of some coaches, like Kiffin, who seemingly have an easier job at recruiting players. Frankin's comments prompted a response from Kiffin, who appeared to use the Hokies coach's comments to promote LSU."#JustDifferent @lsu James! Thanks for reminding everyone," Kiffin tweeted earlier on Thursday.Franklin was fired from his coaching role at Penn State on Oct 12, after a 3-3 start to the season. After Franklin's dismissal, several players decommitted from Penn State. A handful of them committed to Virginia Tech after the school hired Franklin on Nov. 17.Franklin had been coaching Penn State for nearly 12 seasons before his firing. He led the Nittany Lions to the College Football Playoff last season, where the team lost to Notre Dame.While many believed Franklin could lead Penn State to success this season, his team suffered three straight losses, prompting the school to part ways with the coach.It will be interesting to see how Franklin fares at Virginia Tech next season.Lane Kiffin led Ole Miss to a historic 11-win season this yearNCAA Football: Louisiana State Head Coach Lane Kiffin Introductory Press Conference - Source: ImagnIn his final year at Ole Miss, Lane Kiffin led the team to its maiden 11-win season.
